Best Answer

Hypotenuse squared = 12 squared + 5 Squared

so

Hypotenuse Squared = 144 + 25

so

Hypotenuse = Square root of 169

= 13cm

The ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse?

Starting with an equilateral triangle of side 2, dropping a perpendicular from one vertex to the opposite base creates two equal right angled triangles with hypotenuse of length 2, base length 1 and height of length √(22 - 12) = √3 which is the longer leg of the 30-60-90 triangle. Thus the ratio of longer_leg : hypotenuse is √3 : 2
